THE HARTFORD TO BE REPAIRED.-The secretary
OF the Navy has issued orders that the famous old
flagship Hartford, now lying at San Francisco,
shall be repaired, according to the report OF the
board OF survey. The fate OF this vessel has been
undecided for some time past, as it was thought
she was hardly worth repairing. The Secretary
found however, that the appropriation OF 800 900
Tor the repair OF certain vessels available for
the Hartford, and therefore he has directed that
she be repaired, but that the cost must be kept
within the twenty per cent limit.

THE MONTANA MARKET.

The Rocky Mountain Husbandman of
recent date contains the following: "Six
weeks ago the market in this territory
for stock sheep seemed really weak, and
while growers were we'll satisfied with
the business, there were few offering to
BELL to relieve over-stocked ranges, and a
few others DESTROYS of changing their
business, and it looked as if the focks
offered would 90 begging. But to-day
the aspect of affairs has changed. There
have been but few transactions owing to
the low prices offered, and it is not likely
that many of the flocks offered will be
sold. The truth is there has been plenty
|of money awaiting investment all the
thine, but investors wanted to buy at
from Sl.75 to $500 per head, which is
tless than most ofierers have been willing
to take, and consequently there are no
sales. There are now standing offers at
these figures, but we do not anticipate
that there will be any sales of conse-
|quence. The fact is that sheep at such
prices are pretty good investment"

hair parted in the middle, and looking Like

VARIOUS HINTS.

Why is hard water better than soft for
the final rinsing of clothes on washday
Because the lime more perfectly neutra-
|lizes the alkali of the soap.
The coarse brown paper that comes
round groceries is handy to use in clean
ling out the greasy kettles and frying
pans. 1t is great absorber of grease.
Made into wad and used to rub out the
grease it saves the dishcloth and the hands,
and helps make an unpleasant task less
|disagreeable.
If you want to use the juice of lemon
as well as the grated peel, roll it till soft
under the hands. Take coarse, sharp
crater, and begin at one end of the lemon
rubbing the spot, up and down the graf
er-on a small spot, so as not to waste
the peel-about three times; this is usu
ally enough to take off the yellow skin
which is all that is good for anything
the white part being tough and bitter.
The feather buster has no Legitimate
place in household economy, unless fol
brushing dust from objects out of reacf
by ordinary methods. The dust-cloth
which takes up and permanently removes
the dust from the room, is the really eff
cient duster. Squares of cheeseclotf
make good busters.
Never use soap on an oilcloth; it will
remove grease and dust but it will als'
remove the paint. Never use ammoni
either, it will deaden the lustre. Use cleal
warm water, or better yet, milk ant
water. After cleaning it with a flame
rag, warm some linseed oil and appl
with a flannel rag to the cloth, rubbing
it we'll in, but using only little of tn
oil, just enough to give it a gloss; il to-
much is used the oilcloth will be stick
and catch every atom Of dust. ski
milk is good thing to clean an oilcloti
but it must be thoroughly wiped an

PRESERVING MANURE

There is annually large waste of the
valuable properties of manure, and the
rivers carry to the sea much of the wealth
of the land. Manure is really the true
wealth of the country, for it contains with
in itself all the essential elements that
produce the crops that serve as food, and
many of the raw materials that enter into
manufactures. Every ounce of it that is
saved is so much wealth retained for use
at another time, and the saving of the
manure is the most important matter on
the farm. The fertlizing properties of
manure are lost in many ways. The rains
carry off the soluble ingredients as fast
as decomposition changes the solids,
while the winds, in evaporating the mois-
ture, also take away portions of the vol
atile matter. Not only should the man.
ure be sheltered from the winds and rain,
but it must be managed in manner so as
to prevent loss of volatile matter, as the
gases generated are sometimes the most
valuable portions. The manure heap is
really laboratory, and the farmer
chemist, even though his knowledge Of
chemistry may be limited. OF the fact
that manure can be benefited and made
more valuable all farmers are familiar,
for by using absorbents they know that
the essential elements are partially retain
ed, but the decomposition of the manure
and its conversion into plant food depend
upon the temperature of the atmosphere,
its humidity and its composition; and
Judgment must be exercised in its pre-
servation, as no two manure heaps are
alike. The volatile matter can be con-
verted into solids, however, and in that
manner the plant food may be retained.
AS manure does not become plant food
until entirely decomposed, or so changed
in character as to revert to its original
elements or combinations, much of it is
not appropriated by plants until long
after it has remained in the ground. To
six" the ammonia, which is the most
valuable portion, it can be changed into
a sulphate, and this may be easily effect
ed by the free use of sulphate of potash
(crude kainit) in the heap, which also
causes change of other elements. Plas-
ter is also used, but 1t is more of an alb
sorbent of ammonia, though it finally
assists in forming sulphates. BY the
use of kaint, adding all the liquids, turn
ing the heap over often, so as to keep the
coarser material to the centre, it will not
only greatly assist in preserving the
manure, but will render it better adapted
for plant food Philadelphia Record.

Meanwhile the Sand Creek Indians of eastern
Colorado had given little trouble; a forcs
under Col. Chivington fell upon them
while in their home camp and unsus-
pecting, and massacred men, women
and children. The tribe was annihilated.
Early in 1868 Gen. T. E. Conner fell on the
Bannocks and Shoshones in their winter
camp on Bear river, Idaho, slaughtered some
hundreds and brought the rest to terms. In
1862 tho Sioux of Minnesota rose and massa-
cred all the border settlers for 200 miles, save
those who escaped to the larger towns and
military posts. The Indians were subdued
and partially punished. The slaughter of
Black Kettles band in their winter camp by
Gen. Custer, and of the Piegans by force
sent by Gen. Sheridan, next excited atten-
tior, and the latter was severely denounced.
Both these, however, were soon forgotten in
the interest excited by the famous, or infa-
nous, "Camp Grant massacre" in Arizona
Pursuant to treaties lately made a large
band of Apaches, including the women and
children, had formed under the protection of
the United States fort. A motley band Of
Americans Mexcans and Indians Of the
semi-civilized Papagos, Yumas, Pimas and
Coco Maricopas made forced night march
from their rendezvous fell upon these In
dams at daybreak and slaughtered men, wo-
men and children. A hundred and one per-
sons were arrested by the United States au-
thorities and brought to trial for this action {;
but in the state of public opinion in that ter
ritory none of them could be convicted
After this the monotony was somewhat
broken, and it was the Indians turn to have
eome revenpe
